At the direction of President Biden, Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon has ordered both the Wyoming and U.S. flags to fly at half-staff to honor the victims of the mass shooting on Saturday in Monterey Park, California.

At least 10 people were killed in the shooting at a dance studio. The 72-year-old man believed to have been the shooter has been found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department

Here is the presidential proclamation:

As a mark of respect for the victims of the senseless acts of violence perpetrated on January 21, 2023, in Monterey Park, California, by the authority vested in me as President of the United States by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, I hereby order that the flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff at the White House and upon all public buildings and grounds, at all military posts and naval stations, and on all naval vessels of the Federal Government in the District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its Territories and possessions until sunset, January 26, 2023. I also direct that the flag shall be flown at half-staff for the same length of time at all United States embassies, legations, consular offices, and other facilities abroad, including all military facilities and naval vessels and stations.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-second day of January, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-seventh.
